Our team is composed of high-impact former founders, ML engineers, roboticists, and data leads from companies like Waymo and Google, with experience deploying models at 1B user scale. We partner with a majority of the top AI labs, frontier startups, and F500 enterprises to enable AGI, ASI, and physical intelligence. THE ROLE As Head of Engineering, you will work directly with the founding team and CTO to develop our customer-facing products and internal infrastructure and tooling, as well as scale and grow a team of engineers. As part of this role, you will lead the Core Platform, which includes the core simulation engine, data creation and curation tooling, data validation pipelines, experimentation platform, and operations management.
